Advanced voting begins today

Description

Voting is now underway throughout NZ in this year's general election. Advanced voting began today, with the Electoral Commission saying it's much easier this time around as they've set up voting booths in supermarkets and airports. Meanwhile, while major parties were out campaigning in the regions today, Māori Party newbie and Tāmaki Makaurau candidate Shane Taurima was out seen casting his own vote. It's expected that half of the votes will be cast before election day.
